What is a gastric sleeve? A gastric sleeve is one of the obesity surgery operations which is usually done laparoscopically through keyhole surgery and the surgeon cuts approximately 70 to 80 percent of the stomach and then removes that bigger part of the stomach from the body. So you are left with a stomach that looks a bit like a sleeve or other people call it a banana which is approximately 150 milliliters in volume.
